STUDENTS' SIGN WRITING
(To tho Editor.) Sir,—l* desire to raise ■ a protest against the methods adopted by some of our university students to advertise their yearly musical farce or "Extravaganza." The year 1931 still experiences the same old defacement of public and private property by the scrawling of coloured chalks all over the surfaces of valuable buildings, fences, and other permanent structures. Even the new concrete viaduct at Kelburn, not yet out of the contractors' hands, has its delicately tinted abutments covering the approach to the Karori side scrawled all over. I am sure this example of the signwriter's art must draw caustic comment from those of the public who pass the locality- every day, and garage doors and front fences seem to have received their fair share this year, and it is surely time for the university authorities to remind the students that even the temporary disfigurement of property is not one of the many subjects for .which degrees are obtained, nor does it enhance the reputation of the students in these learned days.—l am, etc., ' ' ARTISTIC.
